What does economic pinch mean for MLB?

Ed Wade and I have spent quite a bit talking about the economy this winter.

Baseball, as you all know, doesn’t live in a vacuum.

Yes, the Yankees and Angels of the world can throw money around. But not many more teams can do that.

If there is one positive for Astros fans of the Astros telling Randy Wolf’s agent that they must slow down those negotiations, it’s that it appears that there will be plenty of non top-tier free agents available this winter.

We told you at the GM meetings what clubs were saying about the economy.

We’re all worried about the economic climate, so this news shouldn’t surprise anyone.
